Example of a search for items about Native American Women:
- From the results screen select "Save as preferred search."
-
To view your saved searches, return to your patron record and select the"Preferred Searches" button. Note: The "Preferred Searches" button will only be visible after a search is saved as a preferred search. - From this screen you can repeat the search anytime by selecting "Search."
- To receive a notification via email of new Library items check the "Mark for Email" boxes. Emails will be sent to the email address associated with your MyLane account.
Check Out History
Check Out History is an optional feature that keeps track of the items you have checked out of Lane's Library. If you choose to use Check Out History, you must activate it by clicking on the link "Activate Your Check Out History." Once activated, your library record will start maintaining a history of items you check out. You can delete individual items from your history at any time, and you have the option to opt out of using this feature once you begin.
The items you check out after you activate reading history will now appear. The system does not track items that were checked out prior to activation.
Activated Reading History:
Note: Library staff do not have access to view your reading history; you decide to opt in, delete individual items, and opt out. Periodically the Library deletes inactive patron records including students who are no longer registered for classes. Currently when a patron's record is deleted their Check Out History is not. If you do not plan to register for classes, you may wish to opt out of Reading History to protect your privacy.
